Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to undergo surgery for a hernia, leaving Deputy Prime Minister Yariv Levin in charge during his medical procedure. The operation, scheduled for Sunday, comes at a crucial time when Netanyahu is actively involved in addressing the conflict with Hamas. The discovery of the hernia during a routine checkup has prompted the need for surgery, with Netanyahu opting to be fully sedated for the procedure.

Amidst the surgical plans, Israel's war cabinet is preparing for a meeting to discuss ongoing strategies, adding a layer of complexity to Netanyahu's temporary absence. Deputy PM Yariv Levin is poised to take on the prime ministerial responsibilities while Netanyahu undergoes treatment. The surgery under full anesthesia highlights the seriousness of the situation as Israel navigates both health concerns and geopolitical challenges.

Interestingly, this isn't the first time Netanyahu has faced medical issues; last year, he had a pacemaker installed following a hospitalization, showcasing the resilient nature of the Israeli Prime Minister. The seamless transition of power to Deputy PM Levin demonstrates the stability of Israel's leadership structure, even in times of unexpected health events like hernia surgeries.
